Butcher - About

The Pearlescent Shotgun Butcher is manufactured by Hyperion and comes from the Borderlands 2 Ultimate Upgrade Pack.

Butcher - Unique Ability

Every Butcher shot has a 16.7% Chance to add 2 Bullets to its magazine instead of using 1.

Hyperion
Sustained fire improves accuracy and recoil.
Note
This effectively means that, on average, the Butcher can fire twice as many shots as its magazine size allows. Increasing the Butcher's fire rate to 10 or higher has diminishing returns due to the way this effect is implemented.

Accuracy and Recoil on Hyperion Weapons

Shooting Hyperion Weapons moves them from Max Inaccuracy and high kick to Max Accuracy and no kick.
Unlike other weapons, recoil does not affect the kick of Hyperion Weapons.
Having lower Recoil achieves Max Accuracy faster.
Having higher Recoil Recovery slows the loss of accuracy after shooting stops.
